To The Rescue

To The Rescue is an app designed to send medical information and geolocation to licensed emergency professionals.

Comment

Our inspiration for the app came from being able to help people when they are injured or hurt and don't have anyone around them. We were able to put everything that you would need in case of an emergency and give that information to the people who come to help. Our app “To The Rescue” is a healthcare app, that can track your location using latitude and longitude. Once our app has your exact location you can send it to any emergency contact (911). This app will show any hospital in your local area using google maps. Once you find the closest hospital to your location you can get immediate directions there. Another feature of our app is that it will save your information into a database.
We used MIT App Inventor 2. We separate the project into parts and each worked on our parts individually. When we were done with our portion of the app, we put everything into a new project and made it into one app. Some challenges we ran into were when we were working on separate parts of the app, we ran into some bugs trying to put it all together, but eventually worked them out. One accomplishment we are proud of is when Tyler figured out the gps locator portion of the app. We learned that making an app unique is not just coming up with a new idea, but it is also the ability to make an old idea better. We hope to add a web based database to make the medical information more secure. We also hope to add a text to speech and speech to text feature on all pages so people who are visually impaired. Someone also suggested that we add a blood type variable to the medical information page.
